Tigers 8
Rogers flys out to deep cf on 3-2 count.
Carpenter K’s badly against a lefty on 4 pitches..
Torres F-8

Tigers still only 5 hits.

I do not understand why our pitchers never use the count to their advantage. Some of these hits just make no sense.

I think the cards have 3, 4 or 5 hits when tiger pitchers are ahead 0-2 or 1-2 count. Even the great Skubal on the single before the 2 run homer.,

McKinstry singles
Greene Doubles Right Center 5-4 Tigers
Tork popout to 1st. (Poor at bat)
Sweeney k’s on bad pitch #3.
Baez popout 1st. (Chasing balls off the plate Baez is back)


Greene did that after a foul ball off his leg . Very next pitch.
After Greene’s double that was three very bad at bats in a row.

We were lucky to win this game. This bullpen is complete trash right now.

At least Tommy was decent tonight! Very lucky not to have to face Donovan. Yup cards had all the momentum. Im very Glad to not lose a Skubal start. Man up 4-0 he was cruising.

 

[biggunsbob]

Greene 3 for 4 with 4 RBIs. Game winner in the 9th. He is now batting .286. Last hit in the 9th was right after taking a hard foul off his leg. Very next pitch .

Great play by Sweeney to keep the bases loaded.
